Running Into a Rebound Graduate

Just a few days ago, I was at a Bojangles getting breakfast. I heard a voice call my name. I smiled. I knew it would be a former client. I was right. It was a man who had graduated from our men’s Rebound program six years ago. Six years ago, he was doing whatever it took to keep himself in active addiction. Today, he is gainfully employed at one of our city’s corporations.

To every other guest at Bojangles that morning, he was just another customer. To me, he was a story of God’s grace that was poured into a struggling life.
